Using it
However feels good for you! Hold it in your palm and squeeze, roll the spikes over tight spots. There's no wrong way.
Honestly, almost everyone, but people especially reach for it during anxiety and overwhelm, for sensory regulation, needles and dental visits, tattoos, period pain, labour, focus at a desk, and travel nerves.
Calm Companion is a sensory and acupressure support tool, not a medical device or treatment. It's there to give your hands something to do and help you feel grounded.
The product
A single piece of hand-carved natural wood with a gentle spiky texture — about the size of a golf ball, small enough to fit in the palm of your hand and live in your pocket. Each one is unique; small variations in the grain are part of the handmade character.
Wipe clean with a damp cloth and leave to air dry, if it needs a more thorough wash - gentle dish soap and warm water is best but keep it away from prolonged moisture.
Handcrafted in a certified Fair Trade workshop in India, by makers who are paid and treated fairly.
